Hello, I'm Tanya!
I'm a product designer and researcher with roots in content strategy — which is to say, I care a lot about meaning-making and exploring different mediums to tell a story.
Currently: tinkering with the tangible (read: arts-ing and crafts-ing), experimenting with code, and looking for what's next!
Previously: graduate student and teaching assistant at Purdue UX studios.
